What time do you wear?

must have landed on a new dodge that absorbed the fall. the old dodges of a more "robust" fabrication would have caused a bit more damage. 40 stories? wow. i would have fainted standing on the ledge. did he have a watch on his wrist? john cameron swaze would have made a timex add out of this one.....and it keeps on ticking!!!

had rolex explorer two for 10 years. in i989 they cost around 1000 dollars, in 2010 they cost 5000. i sold it for more than i paid for it and it was heavily used to say the least. but the crystal is 600 plus i believe and tuneups every 3 years are very expensive. so best cheap cool watch is the sieko orange monster. can be found for 160 dollars. my current favorite is the hamilton khaki frogman. can be found for 600 dollars and uses a swiss movement installed in many 3 to 4 000 dollar watches.i really enjoy it and its not overly large as is the current industry style. so many watches so little time ha. interesting thing about the rolex is that it sliced me open chopping wood several times. anybody else have that happen?

i was an iron woker and wore it every day for ten years to see if it could take it,,, never a hitch except the clasp will slice you chopping wood or swing a golf club or hoisting sail at the regatte. what are you takinf=g about?, you got 18 years,, i know people that got 2 yrs ok? you think your experience defines every user? what did you do, wear yours to the opera to test its robust movement? i buy good stuff to use it. talk to a factory trained tech and see how often he recommends a tune up

when a watch says EXPLORER 2 on it and is touted as a progeny of a watch that was used[with others] to climb mt everst i am going to see if it works. severe shocks to my body hurt too. ha. but really i.m a typical human/male that goes camping, motorcycling/works for living and i,m not gonna take my watch off if i need to do something normal like build a campfire. if it breaks oh well i can fix that. i,ve broken bones but that didn,t stop me either. babying all this jewlery/ audio gear is too much. i try to be gentle with my child. thanks,,i do try to take care of lps however/ thanks

i framed a house all day just pounding nail with a heavy framing hammer. all day. and my explorer went exploring.. for time in another universe. got overwound i guess and ran hours fast for a day. took it off for a few days and ran perfect forever after. am i the only person to be sliced open by the clasp on a rolex? it laid me open about an inch long slice on top of underhand thumb. when i was young thought i was tough and never wore gloves. ha. live and learn.

as you can guess i,m a bit messed up. left and right handed but not ambidextrious. ??? so have to wear watch on right wrist or will trip over feet. throw left but hammer right so it's difficult to protect instruments and i,m not taking it off. ha. thanks for the info. always trying to learn.
